We are usually pretty low key over Spring Break...as in, we don't do anything:) Rich usually takes vacation time in February (when school is still in), but we decided this year, we were going to try to do something over spring break! Of course Rowan HATES the car...mostly he just hates being in the car when he is tired. He will not fall asleep unless he is swaddled, with his fuzzy blanket and in his bed:( So anywhere we went, needed to be close. We decided on Park City. Rich LOVES to snowboard, and hasn't been since college. He wanted to do that and teach the girls. I was just happy I had an excuse to stay in the hotel room while he was doing that! I HATE the cold!!! Annnnndddd....my parents came up too. That was fun. I'm sure they didn't have as much fun as we did, because they didn't snowboard, but it was terribly nice to 'get away':)
On our way!!!!
In the hotel room. Incase you aren't aware, Elwyn is in the 'ugly face' stage bwahaha!!! Not sure what Willow is doing, or Rowan for that matter lol:)
My mom holding Rowan. My parents hate being in pictures...I do too:)
Willow all ready for her snowboarding adventure!!!!
Elwyn getting ready. This poor girl ended up being sick the day they went out. She toughed it out, and lasted the morning. She looked AWFUL when she came back. The rest of our vaca she spent laying on our bed, or the couch watching TV. ANNNDDD....I was up several nights with both her, and Rowan. If it wasn't one...it was the other. What a vacation....
Rich was SO excited!!!
All ready to tear up the mountain. I love how Willow is 'playing the part' of a snowboarder. Seriously, where is her smile:) K, so they had a blast. There aren't that many runs for beginners (we stayed at Canyon's Resort, maybe other ski resorts have more options):). Anyway, Rich took them out, taught them a thing or two, and then they rode up the mountain. He MEANT to take them down the 'easy' side of the mountain, but went the wrong way. NICE...Apparently they took an intermediate run down the mountain and ended up out in timbuktoo...good job Rich. So I'm not sure how they came back to me alive. Rich called and told me they were lost, and then 30 minutes later they were back at the hotel. He had found an EMT with an SUV and asked them for a ride back. Had he been on his own, or if the girls were experienced, they could have just snowboarded back...but the slopes were way too advanced for them. Anyway, Elwyn stayed with me, and Rich and Willow went back out after resting and having lunch. They had a great time, and Willow wanted to go out again the next day. I think this will become a yearly tradition at our house:)
And this is what Rowan and I did while they were gone lol:)
We had alot of fun. We spent a day shopping the outlets, and ate lots of junk food...ok, maybe that was just mostly me eating all the junk food:) The girls and I went swimming a couple of times in the outdoor pool...which was heated and super nice. I loved that. It was good to get away, and i wish we could have stayed longer. 3 nights just wasn't enough!!!
